This month is another elements month, but the trick “Black Hops” is an excellent example of what this month’s remix is all about. I want to see a trick with a simple element(s) that goes from one side to the other, especially if they involve increasing and or decreasing the number of wraps around your hands and or fingers. “Rewind” is another trick to reference.
I said “simple element”, but it could be a difficult or more complex element as well, as long as it goes from side to side. It doesn’t have to be the main focus of the trick, as long as it’s in there somewhere.
Rewind:
One of the halves of @AndreBoulay’s tut is down, so:
Prize: I’m going to assume it’s a $100 YYE gift card until @AndreBoulay tells me otherwise. and he’s the man!
I hope I haven’t picked a dud theme this month! Maybe I take it too personally, but I try to put some thought into these, and I usually incorporate my own experiences with yoyoing. I feel pressure to make these successful and well participated, especially since Andre’s ponying up a $100gf!
Anyway, here’s a bump!
Some people have said they have an easier time when these contests follow a classic trick rather than an element or concept. In this case, you can use Black Hops or Rewind or any other trick with a similar set of elements as your starting point.
Here’s mine! The simple element I chose to hop with in my remix was chopsticks. I thinking it turned out pretty well. Really pushed myself with this one. All the hops it in were really frustrating for me to get clean.
It’s a sucession of drop suicides that range from trapeze to it’s triple or nothing equivalent, following the recognizable “simple element(s) that goes from one side to the other, involving increasing and or decreasing the number of wraps around your hands and or fingers” concept Black Hops uses. Only half this time because going back is prohibitively difficult. Half of them is good proof of concept i’d say.
and he’s the man!
it’s hard to practice when I have such a cute lil dude that always wants to hang out
